5. Your harvest of grain and grapes will be so abundant, that you won't know what to do with it all. You will eat and be satisfied, and you will live in safety.
6. I will bless your country with peace, and you will rest without fear. I will wipe out the dangerous animals and protect you from enemy attacks.
7. You will chase and destroy your enemies,
8. even if there are only five of you and a hundred of them, or only a hundred of you and ten thousand of them.
9. I will treat you with such kindness that your nation will grow strong, and I will also keep my promises to you.
10. Your barns will overflow with grain each year.
11. I will live among you and never again look on you with disgust.
12. I will walk with you—I will be your God, and you will be my people.
13. I am the Lord your God, and I rescued you from Egypt, so that you would never again be slaves. I have set you free; now walk with your heads held high.
16. I will punish you terribly, and you will be ruined. You will be struck with incurable diseases and with fever that leads to blindness and depression. Your enemies will eat the crops you plant,
17. and I will turn from you and let you be destroyed by your attackers. You will even run at the very rumour of attack.
18. Then, if you still refuse to obey me, I will punish you seven times for each of your sins,
19. until your pride is completely crushed. I will hold back the rain, so the sky above you will be like iron, and the ground beneath your feet will be like copper.
20. All your hard work will be for nothing—and there will be no harvest of grain or fruit.
21. If you keep rebelling against me, I'll punish you seven times worse, just as your sins deserve!
22. I'll send wild animals to attack you, and they will gobble up your children and livestock. So few of you will be left that your roads will be deserted.
23. If you remain my enemies after this,
24. I'll remain your enemy and punish you even worse.
